Sometimes the food choices along highways are limited for truckers who are working towards having a healthy lifestyle. However with a little ingenuity, it can be possible to make good decision while on the road. The Truckers Report offers some tips on where to go when searching for nutritious and tasty truck-stop cuisine.

The calories can add up quickly at fast food chains that are easy to pull up to after a long shift. Several of these eateries do have a few items that are better than others. Instead of choosing McDonald's high-fat chicken selects, one can opt for Wendy's junior hamburger that contains one fourth of the fat and sodium.

Most fast food restaurants display nutritional fact on their websites, so drivers can easily check the contents of what they eat to maintain a consistent regime of good food picks.

The T&A Cafe in California has been serving hearty meals to preserve trucker health for years, reports Off 68. The 'kitchen sink' omelet loaded with vegetables can give truckers a well-balanced start to the day. The burgers are also a specialty, and are complemented well with a fresh side salad instead of French fries.
